If you do paint the chrome piece. Try and sand it down and make it rough so the paint has something to stick to. It wasn't done for mine and now its chipping off.

Give it a good nice dull surface, don't use a grain that will scratch. I'm sure someone knows what grain to use, but I would use around 800-400, something fine... but not too fine. If you can try and make it so there are no more shiny parts then that's ideal. Its the same when it comes to painting a car. I wet sand everything I plan to paint, but its up to you.

If you want me to, I can show you what it should look like before you paint. I can sand some of mine down for ya, well tomorrow that is lol.
